Held Fast

On dark sea nights, sailors tremble in

Fear for their lives in the face

Of the storm that is

Gusting like a banshee's

Wailing through the rigging.


But where they search for

Light from the shore, my

Fate cannot reach me for you

Hold me fast and prevent my

Ruin upon the shoals I cannot see.


No matter the weather you hold me

Together through any storm that comes

My way is secure because I can turn to you

My anchor holds me fast against the

Windy gale that I face every day.


I never show you the respect you deserve, and for that I am sorry. Thank you for being there for me and for all you have done. This poem is a poor tribute, but I dedicate it to you just the same.

This is beautiful. You should continue to write. Who ever this was for, I am sure they know what a wonderful kind of person you are and that they are lucky to have you in their life.

Orchid_Lily, I've hit a bit of a dry spot. Haven't found a reason to write about for a while, but I will try to write something up for you.
As for the person I dedicated this to, they might know, they might not. I really don't know.
